Michaela and Cody’s Descanso Wedding!

WOW! What a weekend it has been!! My little brother is officially a married man!! I can’t be happier for him and Michaela and I’m so excited to share this sneak preview of their wedding with everyone. I feel so fortunate because these photos wouldn’t have been possible without my France Photographer girls. Originally I was going to be the one shooting this wedding, but as time went along Michaela finally broke down and said that she really just wanted me as a bridesmaid and not to have to work it. Luckily Rachel and Sara have huge hearts and they allowed me to have an amazing time with my family and not feel like I had to be stuck behind the camera all day. I was able to do a few of their portraits with them and it was so hard to choose these previews, because obviously I wanted to choose them all!

Cody and Michaela got married on a Ranch in Descanso. I was with them as they started planning their wedding and I was so happy for them when they found this place because it was absolutely perfect for them! Their ceremony was under huge oak trees and Cody and our dad build these doors that Michaela and her dad walked through. Over the doors my mom painted “With my whole heart, for my whole life”! Their ceremony was at the perfect time of day with the most beautiful light pouring in through the trees. After they said their I DO’s everyone was able to have a good time playing horse shoes, reminiscing with family and friends, and dancing under the twinkly lights that hung from the barn ceiling.

The day was so perfect for my brother and his new wife. I wish them the most amazing life together!
